Employee Handbooks: Expert Advice on Policies and Procedures

Policies, Procedures and Staff Handbook

The law requires employers to provide employees with key pieces of information about their employment in writing within two months of them starting work. In addition, many employers supplement the contracts through other policies and procedures which they include in a “Staff Handbook” (also known as a “Company Handbook” or “Employee Handbook”). Staff Handbooks generally cover areas and subjects that do not naturally fit into contracts of employment (for example maternity policies, disciplinary and grievance policies, shared parental leave policies, flexible working) and can be contractual or non-contractual. Hewetts has the experience to advise you on which policies to include and will draft the policies for you. We are based in Reading and Windsor but operate a national service.
